November 9th, 2014 to November 15th, 2014
It was great to spend another 4 hours together listening to great music,
as we do every week on Treasure Island Oldies. And next week be sure to listen
for the Pop Goes The Country Special. The entire show will consist of country
tunes that were so popular they crossed over onto the pop charts. You’ll hear from artists such as Lynn Anderson, Johnny Cash, Ray
Charles, Jimmy Dean, Mac Davis, and so many, many more. It all starts next
Sunday, November 16th at 6 pm Pacific, 1 am Universal. I think this
is only the 2nd time since I’ve been doing this show that this theme
is returning as a special. See ya’ll next week on the Island as Pop Goes the
Country!
I’d like to extend my best wishes and congratulations to my good friend
Red Robinson who this week is celebrating his 60th Anniversary of
being on the radio. This Rock & Roll Hall of Fame DJ has been recognized by
many other organizations over the years including the Canadian Broadcasters
Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Red, any many more years of gracing the airwaves
with your personality.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Tim Sykes in Cambridge, Ontario and
Chris Witmer in Iowa City, Iowa. If your birthday is coming up soon, let me
know so that I can wish you all the best on the show and play Birthday by The
Beatles for you. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is paying tribute to the late Mr. Acker
Bilk with his signature song, Stranger On The Shore. It’d our Song of the Week.
